Lime Zinger Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Zinger')

Lime Zinger Stonecrop (Sedum 'Lime Zinger') is a striking, low-growing succulent groundcover known for its vibrant lime-green foliage, bold red margins, and late-season pink flowers. This drought-tolerant, easy-care perennial provides rich color contrast, texture, and an eye-catching focal point in rock gardens, borders, and container plantings.

Distinctive Features
